Eames Hang-It-All Select Limited Edition
Herman Miller Select™ 2010 Eames® Hang–It–All®
As of August 15, 2010, Herman Miller’s Select program is presenting a new classy looking Eames Hang-It-All from the multicoloured version to a striking design which now includes a black steel frame and solid walnut hooks.
The Hang-It-All was inspired by the Eameses’ love for playful furniture and children’s toys. Introduced in 1953, it was designed to hold an assortment of children’s belongings—mittens, scarves, jackets, dolls, slingshots, skates, and knapsacks, according to Eames Design.
It was available from Tigrett Enterprises’ Playhouse Division until the company went out of business in 1961. Herman Miller reintroduced it in 1994.
Herman Miller’s Gregg Vander Kooi chose to feature the Hang-It-All as this year’s Select item because of its whimsical appeal.
“Plus,” he adds, “walnut is a fairly neutral wood that fits with almost any décor.”
If you want one you better hurry! It’s only being offered until February 15, 2011, or while supplies last.

I received my Select Hang-It-All last Thursday. I purchased it as more of a piece of art than for its functionality. It’s stunning… even nicer than I expected it to be. The stained walnut is a much more “grown up” version of the original. And the black wire shows up much more nicely on light-coloured walls, enhancing the sculptural element of this piece.
